Forward Deployed Engineer

Most enterprise AI dies in the proof of concept. Forward deployed engineering is how we avoid that: you sit inside the customer's workflow - on site, in the bid room, in the procurement process, and build until the work actually gets done.

You ship product. You take a real bottleneck at a real contractor, build the agent workflow that removes it, prove the outcome in numbers, and bring what you learned back into the core platform.

You are the shortest path from a customer problem to working software, and the reason our agents survive contact with the real world.

What you'll do

• Own named accounts end to end: understand the workflow, configure and extend our agents against their real documents and data, and get them into daily use
• Write code; integrations, data pipelines, prompts, evals, and occasionally a whole new feature - whatever it takes to make the workflow work at that customer

You might be a fit if

• You have several years building and shipping software, such as; Python and/or TypeScript, APIs, data pipelines, databases and SQL
• You're comfortable with LLMs and modern AI tooling; we operate as an AI-first company
• You've worked directly with customers, or you have a clear appetite for it
• You go to where the work happens - site visits, bid rooms, warehouses
• You're pragmatic about craft, meaning that you know when to hack and when to build it properly
• You're comfortable with ambiguity, and with being the only engineer in the room
• You speak Swedish and English

Construction, real estate or industrial experience is a strong plus. We're looking for engineers who like customers, and customer-facing people who actually ship. This seat sits close to everything, product, AI engineering and the customer. It can grow toward leading deployments and a team of FDEs, or inward toward core AI and platform engineering, depending on where you become most effective.

Mid to senior; we care more about what you've built than about years. On-site as default at Linnégatan 89B, Stockholm, with meaningful time at customers. Competitive salary and equity - you're early enough for it to matter. Start as soon as you can.
